Personally, I'm psyched if it's a full on move title. Full on survival horror, running zombies, open world, with a flashlight at the end of your rifle, sharpshooter support. It would definitely make for some spooky $#@! if done correctly. I could see it being great. It'll just give it that much more room to show how much better it is at what it does than what the competition offers in motion gaming.

What am I saying? Hell, controlling a flashlight would be enough for me. Keep gunplay to a minimum.

This. Would be stoked. When the battery starts to die down on the flashlight, the move light would flicker and then cut/fade out.

So this could potentially be a sandbox game like "I am legend" where you roam empty towns/cities/lush forests during the day in search of supplies required to survive and ingredients for a cure to a virus/fungi that plagued mankind. Having to hide or make yourself stealth at night while other infected humans and animals also roam those areas in search of "food". Uninfected areas may also exist in the game where you can go rest and test your vaccines on captive subjects.

I could definitely play a game of that sort!

That's the type of zombie game that everyone wants, but has still not been made. While Dead Island and Dead Rising are open-world zombie games, I think gamers would like something a bit more realistic, scary, mysterious, and minimalistic.

I'm hoping this game answers the call!

As for this game being a Move-Exclusive title, I don't think that will happen. Judging from the visuals, a ton of money is going into this project, and they would be limiting their audience far too much. At the most, they'll simply pay extra attention to the Move.

If there was only ONE thing to give SONY props for, it is their will to invest in new IP's and originality, test new boundaries. This could be another one of those games that will set a benchmark for others to try and match. But we could still be hyping ourselves and the game turns out to be another run of the mill FPS/Zombie game. But if one company can step away from the traditional gameplay and offer something fresh and inventive, it's SONY!

Not sure what to think of this yet, but I'm very interested. I swear, I hope this is Quantic Dreams taking a shot at doing a really exciting and emotional end of the world/zombie survival game. Man, that would be absolutely amazing. Also this ultra realistic approach seems like something they would do.

A wonderful collaborative effort between Sony Santa Monica and...? or by themselves?

Ok let me break the premise down for those who don't seem to understand:

This is NOT a "zombie game"
The game is about a new form of "brain disorder" so to speak
Somehow the cordyceps fungus ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordyceps ) has invaded the human kingdom

Its likely invaded a number of human necessities {water, plant life, food, air, etc.}
Now, of course everyones seen the "ant teaser" on the Last of Us website right? you've seen what the fungus did to it right? Well, the human "infection" doesn't necessarily make your skin fall off and rot your teeth and what have you {"zombie style"} lol, but near the end when you become decrepit ; The whole of your body is breached and shows the outward physiological signs of the inward psychological dementia.

This brings me to the other trailer on the Last of Us website. The one which shows the wanton violence.
The human infection somehow makes humanity less humane. The infection deteriorates certain aspects of the brain making "them" overbearingly violent animals.
This isn't just some random wild spree which dissipates later on.
THIS is non-stop physical assaults, murder, brutality, etc. on a worldwide global scale.
Thats why the game has been labeled as "shocking" because you have to hurt and harm "regular looking" everyday average joes just to survive (maybe even children)

We are the only few decent ones left.
Those of us who who've had our "normal" lives disrupted and our reality shattered {taking care of our children, working, friendship, love, etc.}
We now march to the drums of war against our very own everyday common man and neighbors
THE most important war of all times but one that has blindsided all.
The violence they perpetrate against "Us" must be meet with equal and more amounts but of even a more vigorous nature against "them"
No, not just country against country but the war to keep our very existence alive
This "unseen war" twixt humanity and utmost vileness
Its up to the "Last of Us" to defeat "them"

From what you outlined above, its a zombie game.
Suggesting it aint a zombie game is like saying the flood arent zombies, no technically they arent but for all intensive puposes they are human bodies replaced with somethingn else controlling/dis-orientaitng otherwise not allowing them to function in a normal way.

"Them"=human fodder, no matter what the source of the infeciton it is.
A horde of derranged humans attacking you=zombie game no matter what the premise is.

I would prefer it if it was the case that the human race has been wiped and there is a different antagonist to fight other then other humans.

Ha, that's hilarious. Makes you lose even more faith in those websites that just run off rumors.

I think it is sort of a zombie game, but hopefully one that approaches it in a way that we haven't seen before. I'm hoping for an emotional game, with interesting characters, and great graphics, the gameplay should be fun too (and we should expect some scares in a game like this).

I'm still hoping that Quantic Dreams is working on this, it seem like something they might do. They could do a great job, exploring how horrifying it would be if something like this actually happened.

PS. I think this game well be centered in a forest or central park.

From what you just said you should go play Resistance 3. It's exactly what your talking about.
